I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.

    For something electronic it’s extremely unlikely. In this case I’d be surprised if they have more than 5 American employees, the support number for the official us branch is a payphone in Houston? (Location makes sense because the box is definitely designed in Texas)
